 Introduction

     The State Program of socio-economic development of Astana for 2006-2010 (hereinafter referred to as the Program) was developed in accordance with the protocol instruction of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, N.A. Nazarbayev, dated December 21, 2004, No. 01-7.11. The development of the Program is caused by the need to define a further strategy for the development of Astana by preserving and subsequently increasing the existing potential of the city in conjunction with the development of its periphery and recreational surroundings.      Currently, the city is in a phase of stable economic growth. The volume of industrial production, investments in capital construction, housing commissioning, landscaping and landscaping, tax collection and payments to the budget are increasing.      At the same time, the dynamic development of the city is hindered by a number of problems related to the functioning of the city's life support systems, the development of transport infrastructure, issues of a city-forming nature, and some others. In order to eliminate their negative impact on the socio-economic development of the city, this Program has been developed.      The program contains an analysis of the socio-economic development of Astana, medium-term goals and objectives, ways and means of achieving them, provides solutions to the main problems, determines the directions of further development of the city, taking into account its growth trends, and also lays the foundations for its long-term and sustainable growth.

      1. Analysis of the current state of the problem

      1.1. General characteristics

     Astana is located in the central part of the country, in the north of ancient Saryarka.      The territory of Astana city is 71 hectares, bordering the Akmola region. According to the administrative division, the city has two districts - "Saryarka" and "Almaty".      One of the most important indicators characterizing the development of the city's economy is the gross regional product (GRP).      During 2000-2004, the annual volume of the city's gross regional product in current prices increased by more than 3.5 times and reached 419.2 billion in 2004. tenge in nominal terms, which is 7.9% of the gross regional product of the republic.      In 2004, the share of industry in the gross regional product was 5.7%, construction - 22.5%, trade - 17.7%, transport and communications - 15.3%, agriculture - 0.5%. The rapid growth rate of the regional product in recent years has determined the high level of gross regional product per capita in the city. During 2000-2004, this indicator increased almost 3 times and in 2004 amounted to 806.5 thousand tenge, which is 2.2 times higher than the national average.      The city plays a significant role in the formation of the republican budget. According to the results of 2005, 12.4% of the republican budget was formed at the expense of tax revenues from taxpayers in Astana.

      1.2. Social sphere

      1.2.1. Demographic development

     The development of the new capital, the improvement of its socio-economic situation and infrastructure contributed to the growth of the total urban population. At the beginning of 2006, the population of Astana amounted to 550.2 thousand people, having increased by 169.2 thousand people compared to 2000.      A positive factor in the natural movement of the population of Astana is the increase in birth rates and marriages.      In 2005, 8.8 thousand children were born in the city, which is more than 4.3 thousand more than in 2000.      The birth rate in 2005 was 16.3, and the death rate was 6.7 per 1,000 inhabitants.      The city's population growth is mainly driven by the influx of migrants. A significant increase in the migration balance (in the range of more than 50 thousand people) was noted in 2000-2001.      The excess of the number of arrivals over those who left is mainly due to the intra-republican migration of citizens. However, in recent years, its relative stabilization has been observed (6.8 thousand people in 2002, 5.4 thousand in 2003, 14.2 thousand in 2004, 15.7 thousand in 2005). The natural population growth during this period increased from 1.5 thousand people in 2000 to 5.2 thousand people in 2005.      The main problem of demographic development is unregulated migration flows to the city from other regions of the country.

      1.2.2. Social security

1.3. Industrial and innovative sphere and energy complex

      1.3.1. Industry

     The city's industry grew from 2000 to 2005. The volume of industrial production increased 3.1 times during the period under review, from 18.4 billion tenge (in current prices) in 2000 to 58.0 billion tenge in 2005.      In 2005, the share of Astana city in the national volume of manufactured industrial products was 1.1%.

     New enterprises have been created in industry and the construction industry using modern technologies in the production of cellular concrete, joinery, and facing bricks, a new technology for cutting metals using magnesium hydrogen has been developed, and a project for the production of "efficient" bricks has been proposed.      In 2004, the share of industry in GRP was 5.7%.

Fig.1 Dynamics of changes in the pre-industrial sector in the GRP of Astana (see paper version)

       The highest growth rates were observed in the manufacturing industry, namely in the production of other non-metallic mineral products, the metallurgical industry and the production of finished metal products, and food production.      The share of manufacturing industry in Astana increased by 10.5% in 2005 compared to 2000 and amounted to 81.2%. Problems: low share of investments in fixed assets of manufacturing enterprises and their implementation only at the expense of enterprises' own funds;      significant level of physical and moral deterioration of equipment (on average 60-70%), lack of own funds for their renovation and modernization at most enterprises; high cost of production facilities in the city; insufficient effectiveness of existing mechanisms of financial, scientific, technological, personnel reproduction and protection of property, industrial and intellectual rights of enterprises; insufficiently active implementation at enterprises international quality standards.

      1.3.2. Entrepreneurship

     As a result of the ongoing policy to support and develop small businesses, significant changes have taken place in both quantitative and qualitative terms in recent years.      Thus, in 2005, the number of small businesses increased by more than 2.5 times compared to 2000 and amounted to 39.4 thousand.      As of January 1, 2006, the volume of products, works and services produced amounted to 162.6 billion tenge, which increased by more than 4 times compared to 2000.      The number of people employed in the field of small business increased by 2 times compared to 2000 and amounted to 83.6 thousand people.      In 2005, the city budget received taxes, fees and mandatory payments from small businesses in the amount of 16.2 billion tenge.      The share of taxes received from small businesses in the total tax burden of the city budget amounted to 6.9%. Targeted work to enhance the participation of second-tier banks in lending to small businesses has made positive changes, and the availability of bank loans has increased. By the end of 2005, loans in the amount of 40 billion tenge were issued to small businesses, and the volume of loans increased almost 3 times compared to 2000.      Problems: lack of sufficient financial resources for the majority of subjects; insufficient level of financial equipment for small businesses; shortage of qualified personnel for small businesses in the field of legal support for business.

      1.3.3. Electric power industry

     The total installed capacity of Astana city power plants as of January 1, 2006 was 256 MW. Electricity production increased by 8.9% over the period 2000-2005 and amounted to 1,450,223 kWh in 2005. Electricity consumption in 2005 amounted to 1361.1 million kWh. The increase in urban consumption was mainly due to a sharp increase in electricity consumption in the construction and transport sectors.      Losses in the public network increased by 41.2% compared to 2000 and amounted to 419.4 million kWh.      The degree of depreciation of fixed assets of generating capacities by the beginning of 2006 was 83% at CHP-1 and 71% at CHP-2. The use of electric power capacity at CHPP-1 has reached 59.3%, CHPP-2 - 66.8%. To cover the rapidly growing electricity consumption, a number of substations have been built on the left bank, expansion and reconstruction of CHPP-2, heating networks and power grid facilities are underway, which provides for an increase in energy capacity by 120 MW and thermal capacity by 450 Gcal/h.      Problems: the technical condition of urban electric networks built in the 60-70s requires reconstruction, given that the power grid routes run in the area of future development of the capital; many 110/10kV substations are made with OD and short circuit breakers and short-circuit breakers in transformer circuits, which does not meet modern requirements for reliability of power supply and requires them reconstructions;      Losses in public electric networks are still significant, accounting for 24% of total electricity consumption, which is associated with commercial losses of electricity, as well as a high degree of deterioration of urban power grids.

      1.3.4. Heat supply

     The city's consumers are supplied with steam and hot water by thermal power plants (CHP-1, CHP-2) and boiler houses. The delay in laying heating networks from the CHP plant to the multi-storey housing construction area on the left bank leads to the forced construction of boiler houses here, which ensure reliable heat supply.      In the structure of thermal energy consumption in 2000-2005, there was an increase in the share of municipal and industrial needs and a decrease in the share of the population.      As of January 1, 2006, the total length of heating networks was 372.5 km, of which: main networks - 100.4 km, quarterly networks - 260.4 km, steam networks - 11.7 km. Of the 100.4 km of main networks, 72% (72.3 km) have a service life of more than 20 years and require reconstruction and expansion.      Heat supply problems: significant reduction in the service life of pipelines compared to the standard period due to unfavorable local conditions: soil aggressiveness, high groundwater level;      The difficult financial condition of heating grid enterprises in recent years has not allowed them to withstand the regulatory inter-repair cycles of heating networks. An increase in the inter-repair cycles for major repairs of heating networks compared to the standard ones has led to the need to replace more than 100 km of heating mains; in existing heating network systems, the task of reducing and eliminating excess heat losses is not being solved. The actual heat losses are more than twice as high as the standard ones;      individual heating points and internal wiring of heating systems in existing buildings are in poor condition, require reconstruction and the introduction of integrated metering systems and control devices.

      1.4. Urban planning and housing and communal services

      1.4.1. Urban planning

In accordance with the General Plan for the Development of Astana, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated August 15, 2001 No. 1064, administrative, business, socio-cultural, scientific, educational and business centers of the capital are being formed.      The structure of urban development of urban areas has been determined, and the RAP of the main planning districts of the city for which construction is carried out has been developed.      Areas of low-rise individual buildings have been identified, and work is underway to provide these areas with transport and engineering infrastructure.      During the period from 2002 to 2005, 4,6 thousand land plots were provided for the construction of housing, trade, social and cultural facilities. 182 residential buildings and residential complexes with a total area of 1,137 thousand square meters, 682 commercial, social and cultural facilities were commissioned. During this period, 3.2 thousand land plots were provided for the construction of individual residential buildings, 2.7 thousand houses with a total area of 587.5 thousand square meters were commissioned.      Great importance is attached to the creation of an engineering infrastructure that meets the modern requirements of the new administrative center. In this regard, storm sewers, utility networks and water supply, heat supply lines are being laid, and a new 110/10 kilovolt lowering station has been built.      The volume of investments in construction in the city for the period from 2000 to 2005 increased from 45.7 billion tenge to 199.5 billion tenge.      During 2000-2005, there was a decrease in the share of investments in civil industrial construction from 82.5% to 62.1%. Due to the implementation of the State Program for the development of housing construction in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2005-2007, investment in housing construction increased 1.8 times (from 54.3 billion tenge in 2004 to 96.2 billion tenge in 2005).      In the structure of investments in fixed assets in 2000-2005, there was a steady increase in the share of foreign investments from the own funds of enterprises and organizations and the population from 45.4% to 61.0%, which allowed the share of budget funds to remain at the level of 32-39%. From 2001 to 2004, the share of private companies in the development of investments in construction increased from 33.1% to 58.2%, while the share of the state decreased from 66.5% to 40.3%. In order to minimize government financing of construction costs, amendments and additions were made to Decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated June 29, 2001 No. 645 "On the creation of a special economic zone"Astana is a new city", which extended the validity period of the special economic zone until 2010 and expanded its borders.      Amendments are required to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Housing Relations" on the construction of attic floors in terms of specifying the number of consenting owners of premises (2/3).

      1.4.2. Housing construction

     The volume of commissioning of residential buildings in the city increased 6 times in 2000-2005, including the commissioning by individual developers - 10.1 times. In the housing sector, in 2005, enterprises, organizations and the population of Astana commissioned residential buildings with a total area of 857.1 thousand square meters, which is 2 times higher than the level of 2004. The main volume of housing commissioned by enterprises, private-owned organizations and the population over a 5-year period amounted to 1662.4 thousand square meters. meters, or 83.7% of the total area of new housing, state ownership - 305.8 thousand square meters. meters or 15.4%. The highest growth rates of housing commissioning were noted in the non-governmental sector, in particular those built by the population. In 2000-2005, the volume of housing commissioning by the non-governmental sector increased 17.6 times, including population commissioning - 12.2 times. In the public sector, there was an absolute decrease in housing starts until 2005, and in 2005 this indicator increased 1.6 times compared to 2000 (from 99.8 to 161.3).      Over the past five years, the population has built 647.6 thousand square meters of housing. In total, residential buildings with 8.3 thousand apartments with an area of 857.1 thousand square meters were commissioned in 2005. The volume of investments aimed at housing construction increased 9.3 times compared to 2000 and amounted to 96.2 billion tenge.

Fig. 2 Dynamics of housing commissioning volume, thousand square meters of total area (see paper version)

       Significant changes have occurred in the structure of residential buildings being commissioned by type of ownership. So, if in 2000 71.7% of commissioned housing was state-owned, then in 2005 the share of housing built by private developers was 81.2%, state-owned housing - 18.8%. Despite the high pace of construction development, the problem of housing provision in Astana remains acute. With the growth of the housing stock over 5 years by 1,579 thousand square meters. The level of housing provision for the urban population has been reached at 19.2 square meters per person.

     The problems of housing construction: the high cost of housing under construction, the discrepancy between the cost and quality of construction; the harsh conditions of mortgage lending do not allow to fully utilize the savings of the population in housing construction; the availability of housing in Astana, built in the 50s and 60s, the life of which has been exhausted.

      1.4.3. Urban improvement

     The urban improvement program is being developed in accordance with the project "Integrated Scheme of landscaping of Astana until 2030", which provides for the formation of an eco-city, reducing the negative impact on the environment, ensuring the symbiosis of the urbanization process with nature and creating a well-maintained urban environment, bringing the standard area of green spaces per person to 19 square meters.      Over the past period, the area of public green spaces has increased, landscaping of residential districts and neighborhoods has been carried out, new squares have been introduced, as well as a boulevard on the left bank.      The landscaping of previous years had a protective and decorative-protective and, to a lesser extent, decorative-aesthetic character, which needs to be strengthened in order to match the changing appearance of the capital. In this regard, it is necessary to grow high-quality material, to increase the range of cultivated tree and shrub species.      Problems: insufficient number of recreational areas with greenery, lack of green microzones within the city; lack of landscaping along highways, green spaces around roadside cafes and hotels, as well as complexes for washing and sanitary cleaning of incoming vehicles; insufficient development of the production base for specialized equipment and automated street lighting control system;      the absence of a botanical garden, which, given the difficult soil and climatic conditions of Astana, would provide a solution to a set of problems related to landscaping the capital and the Central region of Kazakhstan: research, cultural, educational and recreational.

     There are several enterprises in the city that supply gas, of which Astanagazservice JSC is the largest supplier.      In 2005, the provision of tankable gas to the population of Astana Gasservice JSC in the tankable gas market was 100%, and that of autogas and bottled gas was 60%. In 2000-2005, sales of autogas increased by 463.6% (from 1.1 to 5.1 thousand tons), and sales of tankable gas increased by 15% (from 9.3 to 10.7 thousand tons), with a decrease in the volume of sales of bottled gas - by 9% (from 3.5 to 3.2 thousand tons) due to the demolition of the private sector.      To supply consumers with liquefied gas, suppliers have one gas filling station (GNS) with a capacity of 56 thousand tons per year, 2 railway dead ends with overpasses for the simultaneous discharge of 10 railway tanks, and gas cylinders.      Problems: insufficient level of development of engineering infrastructure of communications, their reliability; deterioration of the gas infrastructure of the city; lack of individual accounting of gas consumption by the population.

      1.4.5. Water supply and sanitation

     The explored groundwater reserve located within the city of Astana is non-monetary and does not cover 1% of the city's drinking water needs.

     Until 2001, water from the Vyacheslav reservoir was supplied via two 51 km long water lines, which were in a worn-out condition. In 2001, the first line of the water pipeline was decommissioned (built in 1967) and a new water pipeline was introduced, which allows for the supply of the required amount of water.      In 2002, the Nurinsky groundwater deposit was explored. Reserves have been approved by the State Commission on Reserves in the amount of 35 thousand cubic meters / day, and amount to 30% of the daily consumption rate of the capital. In 2004, exploration and evaluation work was completed in the Ishim River valley at the Volgodonsk site, where unpromising aquifers with total estimated resources of 15.5 thousand cubic meters per day were identified. Water from the Vyacheslav reservoir is supplied for purification to a pumping and filtration station, the technological and energy equipment of which requires replacement and modernization.      As the population grows, Astana's need for drinking water increases, which requires the construction of a new block of drinking water treatment facilities and the reconstruction of existing water treatment facilities by 2008.      The Astana Su Arnasy state utility company maintains about 1,000 km of water supply networks, most of which have a long service life. Water losses amount to more than 40%, and about 0.2 thousand km of water pipes need to be replaced.      The citywide area of surface-atmospheric water runoff covered by centralized economic and fecal sewerage is 12.8 thousand hectares, the average annual volume of rainwater from the entire territory of the city is 8486.0 thousand cubic meters/year, the average annual amount of meltwater is 4227.0 thousand cubic meters/year. The city's wastewater is up to 100 thousand cubic meters/day. They are allocated to sewage treatment plants, including a complex of mechanical and complete biological treatment, and then to the Taldykol wastewater storage tank with a capacity of 65.6 million cubic meters. Due to the long-term operation, sewage treatment plants require reconstruction. The degree of depreciation of fixed assets for water collection, purification and distribution is 29%.      The existing sewage facilities with a design capacity of 135.9 thousand cubic meters/day were commissioned in 1969. Due to long-term operation, building structures have significant damage, especially in open structures on the water-air border.      The problems of water supply and sanitation are: the lack of reliable water supply sources alternative to the Vyacheslav reservoir;      inconsistency of the length and condition of water supply networks with the growing needs of the city; high degree of wear of the Nura-Ishim water intake and a 9.5 km long water pipeline (D = 1000 mm); lack of new technologies to improve the quality of drinking water; inconsistency of the length and capacity of sewer networks with the growing needs of the city; deterioration of water collection, purification and supply facilities, sewer networks pumping stations and sewage treatment plants; non-compliance with the technical requirements of the Taldykol wastewater storage evaporator;      high groundwater level in conditions of intensive construction.

      1.5. Transport system

      1.5.1. Urban road transport network

     The city currently has 642 roads and public streets with a length of 643.5 km. Interchanges on two levels have been commissioned on the K-1 ring bypass expressway. To improve the road network, the city's utilities have replaced 14 and installed 9 pavilions in the central part and on the outskirts of the city, equipped with traffic lights, and imposed restrictions on the movement of heavy-duty and bulky vehicles within the boundaries of Astana city during the daytime.      Problems: congestion of the main highways of the city;      the increase in traffic jams on adjacent and parallel streets, especially in the old part of the city; the lack of highways corresponding to the class of the integrated transport scheme; the lack of through and transit roads through the city; the lack of multi-lane streets; the lack of artificial road structures (bridges, overpasses and interchanges in places of the greatest congestion of traffic, overpasses through the railway line to connect residential territories with an industrial zone, modern pavilions for waiting passengers);      lack of parking spaces (covered underground and above-ground parking lots, outdoor parking lots, short-term parking areas, etc.).

      1.5.2. Inner-city transport

     Over the past five years, the city has maintained a growing trend in road transport with insufficient development of the road transport network. During this time, the number of motor vehicles increased from 37.6 (2000) to 94.5 thousand units (2005), i.e. 2.5 times.      If in 2000 there were 118 cars per thousand residents of Astana, now there are 172. Intra-urban passenger transportation in Astana covers all major areas of the city, including the outskirts and attached villages. Transportation is carried out on 51 routes, while 38 trolleybuses, 819 large and medium-capacity buses and 37 minibuses are currently involved.      The volume of passenger turnover by all modes of transport, taking into account the volume of passenger transportation by entrepreneurs engaged in commercial transportation, increased 2.9 times in 2000-2005 (from 2.0 billion to 5.9 billion). passenger kilometers).      The volume of cargo transportation by all modes of transport, taking into account the volume of transportation by non-transportation enterprises and entrepreneurs engaged in commercial transportation, increased 1.8 times in 2000-2005 (from 21,300 to 37,900 thousand tons).      Problems: insufficient level of technical safety, environmental friendliness, comfort of existing bus and trolleybus fleets, public transport infrastructure facilities due to their severe wear; insufficient development of public transport; lack of modern alternatives to the modes of transport used.

      1.5.3. External transport

     In order to make more efficient use of the advantageous economic and geographical location of the capital, a new international airport building was commissioned, which significantly increased the volume of traffic.      Automobile transportation is developing intensively. Regular routes have been opened: Astana - Baumansk, Astana - Zaporizhia, Astana - Petropavlovsk, Astana - Omsk.      Main problems: lack of transport operators and related services; insufficient level of development of a multiservice service network;      the service level does not meet international requirements.

      1.6. Investment climate

     Due to the high pace of development of the capital and insufficient funds for the implementation of investment projects, there is a need to use alternative sources of financing, including through attracting external loans and/or issuing project bonds.       In this regard, it is useful to use Malaysia's positive experience in attracting alternative sources of financing for the construction of social and infrastructure facilities in Putrajaya.      A special economic zone "Astana - New City" has been created to attract investments in the construction of priority facilities on the left bank. Within the framework of the special economic zone, investments of foreign investors in fixed assets increased from 3.8 billion tenge in 2000 to 6.8 billion tenge in 2005.      In general, the volume of investments in fixed assets increased from 59 billion tenge in 2000 to 254.2 billion tenge in 2005. Construction remains the main priority in the implementation of the city's investment policy. The volume of construction and installation works in 2005 amounted to 199.5 billion rubles. tenge, which is 4.4 times more than the level of 2000.      In terms of investments in fixed assets, Astana is one of the three leading regions in the country. In 2000-2005, its share in the national investment volume increased from 9.9% to 11.5%. The improvement in the investment climate has had a positive impact on the increase in the number of operating foreign (408) and joint ventures (143) representing 50 countries.      Investments in fixed assets increased 4.3 times in 2000-2005, including the own funds of enterprises and organizations by 8.2 times.      In 2001-2005, the share of own funds of enterprises, organizations and the population in the volume of investments in fixed assets in relative terms decreased from 67.0 to 58.4%, and the share of budget funds increased from 28.7 to 38.9%.

     The key problems in investment policy today are: insufficient diversification of the investment structure; high degree of physical and moral deterioration of production facilities; low investment activity in the industrial sector of the economy; lack of effective financial support schemes for entrepreneurship, including innovative ones.

      1.7. Tourism

The purpose of tourism development is to create an attractive tourist image of Astana, the formation of a competitive tourism and recreation industry in the capital.      In the period from 2000 to 2005, the indicators of inbound tourism in Astana increased from 14.1 to 31.9 thousand people, outbound tourism - from 6.9 to 31.8 thousand people, domestic tourism - from 71.2 to 187.7 thousand people. The number of travel agencies increased from 7 to 54 from 2000 to 2005. There are also 9 branches and representative offices of travel companies from other regions in the city.      The volume of works and services provided for tourism activities increased from 1.9 billion tenge in 2000 to 4.5 billion tenge in 2005. In 2005, the income received from the activities of tourism organizations amounted to 1.7 billion tenge.      During the period of the State Program "Flourishing of Astana - Flourishing of Kazakhstan", the number of hotels increased from 28 to 63. More than 80% of them contain additional leisure and service facilities and catering facilities (restaurants, cafes). The hotel complex of the capital is able to accommodate up to 2.5 thousand people at the same time.      The network of leisure, recreation and tourist facilities is expanding in Astana.      Problems: there are not enough cinemas (only 2 per 500 thousand people), entertainment facilities, and there is no ethnocenter to attract foreign tourists. There are few scheduled and chartered flights abroad. The development of tourism is limited by high transportation costs. There are no specialized trucking companies for tourism activities; no electronic booking and travel planning system has been established.;      comprehensive promotion of Astana's symbols as a tourist product is not carried out; inbound and domestic tourism is not formed as an industry of serious importance for the city's economy; the predominance of small travel companies without human and logistical resources does not contribute to the development of investments in the tourism industry; the lack of comprehensive objective accounting of the economic effect of tourism activities.

      1.8. Trading

     The volume of retail turnover for the period from 2000 to 2005 had a steady growth trend. Across all sales channels, this indicator increased from 29.1 billion tenge to 77.0 billion tenge during this period. At the same time, there was an 81% increase in the non-governmental trade sector (from 28,900 to 69,100 million tenge) and a 36.1% decrease in the public sector (from 155.0 to 130.4 million tenge).      The volume of retail turnover of officially registered and trading enterprises and organizations of the city also increased 3.6 times (from 12.5 billion to 45.3 billion). tenge), and the retail turnover of clothing, mixed and food markets almost doubled (from 16.5 to 31.8 billion tenge).      In 2005, consumer goods and industrial and technical products worth 385.8 billion tenge were sold through the wholesale trade network.      As of January 1, 2006, the volume of inventories in retail and wholesale trade reached KZT 6.9 billion, of which 76.3% were concentrated in wholesale trade.      In 2005, the total volume of services provided increased to 3.5 billion tenge, catering enterprises provided services in the amount of 3.0 billion tenge.      There are 19 markets in the city. A network of wholesale markets has been established for the sale of fruit and vegetable products supplied from the southern regions of Kazakhstan. Retail trade of these types of products has been organized through the installation of vegetable tents and seasonal fairs.      Problems: the discrepancy between the assortment of ready-made food products produced by the enterprises of the city and the suburban area to the needs of the population; the lack of a sufficient number of modern shopping centers with developed infrastructure.

      1.9. Public sector

     In 2000-2005, the revenue part of the city budget increased from 21 to 38.3 billion tenge (1.8 times). There is a steady downward trend in the share of budget revenues in the GRP of the city.

Fig.3 Revenues and expenditures of the Astana city budget, % of GRP (see paper version)

       At the same time, an analysis of changes in the budget revenue structure shows that in 2000, the bulk of revenue (74%, or 15.6 billion tenge) was generated by corporate income tax and value-added tax, while in 2005, 68.0% (26.1 billion tenge) was generated by individual and social taxes.      In 2000-2005, the expenditure side of the city budget increased from 23.5 billion tenge to 82.5 billion tenge (3.5 times), which is associated with financing infrastructure development projects from the budget.

     The share of transport costs remains high in the structure of economic and industrial infrastructure expenditures, which is due to the rapid expansion of the city's territory and increased investments in road construction.      Since 2003, the fuel and energy complex has become a significant item of budget expenditure. In 2005, it accounted for 37.2% of all economic and infrastructure expenditures.      In 2005, the share of official transfers from the republican budget in the total budget revenues of Astana amounted to 50.5% (39.2 billion tenge).      As of January 1, 2006, the amount of debt obligations of the Akimat of Astana amounted to 8,767 billion tenge.      Problems: multi-stage management of targeted transfers from the republican budget aimed at the implementation of investment projects and their use; annual allocation of budget withdrawals to the republican budget, despite the fact that targeted transfers from the republican budget to the city budget are planned annually; a set limit of no more than 10% of the total budget for development programs funded by from the local budget.

      1.10. Environmental protection

     The main sources of air pollution in Astana are automobile transport and energy companies. Currently, the number of cars in the city has increased 2.5 times compared to 2000 and amounted to 94.5 thousand. The number of mini-boilers is increasing in the city, of which there are about 250. Currently, there is an increased level of pollution of the Ishim River within the city.      The river is the waterway of the city, which has two tributaries: Ak-Bulak and Sary-Bulak. The Sary-Bulak stream is actually a man-made watercourse that performs the function of draining not only flood waters, but also runoff flowing into the Ishim River.      The negative anthropogenic impact on the city's environment is caused by production and consumption waste, which is increasing due to the rapid population growth and economic development in the capital.      The main problems in ensuring environmental safety and environmental protection are: non-compliance of the air quality control system with the required standards in terms of quantity and quality;      the lack of a single information collection and analysis center that allows making operational decisions to reduce pollution; the need to eliminate and reclaim the Taldykol wastewater storage evaporator; the inconsistency of the storm sewer system with sanitary, epidemiological and environmental requirements; the need to reclaim spent and new ash dumps. Insufficient degree of work on the disposal of ash and slag and their processing; negative impact on the atmosphere of the authorized storage of solid household and industrial waste;      the absence of a specialized landfill for the disposal of hazardous waste.

      2. Goals and objectives of the Program
